On the grid, we see a "T" shape highlighted. The sum of the numbers within the T-shape is 1+2+3+11+20 = 37. This is known as the T-total. The T-number is the number that is at the bottom of the T-shape. In this example, 20 is the T-number. During this coursework, I will be investigating the relationships between the T-shapes and how they relate to grid size. I will also be looking closely into the significance of the T-number and how it could be used to figure out the T-total. 9 by 9 Grid We have already figured out the t-total for one t-shape in the 9 by 9 grid. Here are some more results. 34+35+36+44+53 = 202 46+47+48+56+65 = 262 5+6+7+15+24 = 57 58+59+60+68+77 = 322 In this investigation, I'll be implementing the use of equations. Here is how I started off. 1 2 3 10 11 12 19 20 21 If I bring all...
